Neuroimaging and Psychosocial Addiction Treatment : An Integrative Guide for Researchers and Clinicians

Using an innovative translational approach between the work of experimental scientists and clinical practitioners this book addresses the current, modest, understanding of how and why addiction treatment works. Through bridging this gap it provides a critical insight into why people react as they do in the context of addiction treatment.

This book uses an innovative translational approach to weave together basic biological (brain) mechanisms with human behaviour in order to provide a critical insight into why people do (and do not) change in the context of addiction treatment. With sections focusing on both adults and adolescents, this book bridges the gap between experimental scientists and clinical practitioners to provide an overview of the influence of basic brain functions."-- Provided by publisher
